Rhode Island FC Crush USL Championship Leaders

I have absolutely zero complaints about Rhode Island FC tonight. They went to the home of the league leaders –Louisville City FC – who prior to tonight had scored 40 goals and allowed just 15 in 15 matches, and drubbed them by a score of 5-2.

Not once during the 90 minutes plus stoppage time did they ever look like losing, nor even drawing. Rhode Island FC’s second win of the season coincided with the first time it has scored more than twice, and every single player looked to be firing on all cylinders. The Draw Kings are dead.

The trouble for Louisville began in the 30th minute as RIFC defender Stephen Turnbull laid a pass off to RIFC midfielder Clay Holstad well away from Louisville’s goal. Holstad had taken several long shots this season, and they had all rattled the woodwork at best.

This one did not. Well, it did. Twice, actually, before ricocheting into the back of the net for what is likely the goal of the season. There was nothing anyone could do to stop it. Keep an eye on SportsCenter’s Top 10 this week and you may well see it.

RIFC winger Jojea Kwizera added his first ever RIFC goal in first half stoppage time on a second assist from Turnbull as Kwizera fired the ball past Louisville goalkeeper Damian Las from a tight angle to make it 2-0 going into the break.

The bloodletting continued in the 67th minute as RIFC striker JJ Williams — who had missed what should have been an easy goal earlier in the night — received a pass into the box from RIFC winger Noah Fuson who came in off the bench and chipped it over Louisville’s Las at close range to make it 3-0 giving Rhode Island their first ever three goal lead and the first time they had scored three goals ever.

Louisville City FC — who average nearly three goals a match — attempted to clamber back into this one in the 85th as midfielder Dylan Mares was played on over the top by Louisville midfielder Taylor Davila. Mares took a fake shot that made a Rhode Island defender miss and then he fired the ball past RIFC goalkeeper Jackson Lee for the first time in the game. Lee made 8 saves on 29 total shots against Louisville, many of them quite difficult.

Fuson didn’t let Louisville keep their hope very long though. As regulation ended and nine minutes of stoppage time were added on by the officials, he burst down Louisville’s right side and beat two defenders to chip goalkeeper Las once again.

This goal will not be without controversy, a third Louisville defender attempted to clear the shot before it crossed the goal line. Although the officials ruled it a goal, the television angles were inconclusive and the Louisville fans let the referees feel their ire with chants of “ref you suck”.

Louisville clawed yet another goal back in the 5th minute of second-half stoppage time as defender Jake Morris banged a free kick off the wall and past the outstretched Lee to make it 4-2. Lee may beat himself up for his inability to stop Louisville’s two goals tonight, but in my opinion he made many more class saves and is as responsible as RIFC’s goalkeepers for their shocking win.

Finally, Rhode Island midfielder Isaac Angking delivered the coup de grace as fellow RIFC midfielder Joe Brito played him brilliantly in on goal and Angking, who was one-on-one with Las, calmly slotted it past him only 58 seconds after Morris’s goal. The resulting 5-2 scoreline is the largest win Rhode Island has earned this season and Louisville’s largest defeat. It is also the first time Louisville have dropped points at home this season as RIFC have now picked up four points across two matches against the league leaders.

Statistically, the game was as lopsided as the scoreline suggests but in the opposite direction. I mentioned that Louisville took 29 shots (10 on target). RIFC took only 11, with 6 on target, although they certainly made theirs count.

Possession was as disparate, 64%-36% in Louisville’s favor, with the home team also outpassing RIFC 416-254, and more accurately at 87%-70%. Finally, Louisville City FC won a stunning 13 corners. RIFC won zero.

None of that mattered, as Rhode Island FC took virtually all of their chances for the first time in team history, and Jackson Lee put in the best performance by an RIFC goalkeeper on the season.

Rhode Island FC will ride the high of their 5-2 victory into their next match, which will be their first at home after two-and-a-half weeks away, on Wednesday, June 26th, at 7:30 pm ET, as they take on El Paso Locomotive FC at Beirne Stadium.

‘ICE Out for Good’ rally being held at the State House

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Indivisible R.I. is holding a rally on Sunday as part of the “ICE Out for Good” demonstrations taking place this weekend nationwide.

The rally is in response to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on Wednesday in Minneapolis.

In a release, the organization said the rally will “honor the life lost, make visible the human cost of ICE`s actions, and demand that state and federal leaders reject local contracts with ICE, take every action possible to stop ICE from operating in Rhode Island, and hold ICE agents accountable when they break the law.”

It’s a new year, filled with new challenges. The General Assembly is back in session. Rhode Island’s economy is flat at best, and according to the University of Rhode Island economist Leonard Lardaro, the state is in a recession. Rhode Island is also in daily legal conflict with the Trump administration.

Add that the state is trying to recover from a mass shooting at Brown University, which killed two students and wounded nine others.

For Governor Dan McKee, it is a critical time.

He has announced he is running for reelection—the Democratic primary is just nine months away.

McKee’s poll numbers have plummeted to record lows.

A poll released by the University of New Hampshire in November of 2025 found that in the race for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Rhode Island, 29% of likely Democratic primary voters (N=359) say they would currently vote for former CVS executive Helena Foulkes, 13% would vote for Speaker of the RI House of Representatives Joe Shekarchi, 11% would vote for incumbent Governor Dan McKee, 6% would write in someone else, and 42% are undecided.

Is the 74-year-old McKee criss-crossing the state to reassure Rhode Islanders, listening to residents’ ideas, and sharing his vision for the state in his second term?
